The construction industry is undergoing a crucial transformation as sustainability becomes a global priority. At FACTOR INTERNATIONAL, we recognize that green building practices are no longer optional—they are essential for reducing environmental harm while creating healthier, more efficient spaces.
As leaders in sustainable construction across Mexico and the United States, we integrate eco-friendly materials and innovative design to minimize carbon footprints without compromising structural integrity or aesthetic value.
Traditional construction methods contribute significantly to global carbon emissions, resource depletion, and waste generation. The production of cement alone accounts for 8% of worldwide CO₂ emissions, while deforestation for timber and excessive mining for raw materials further strain ecosystems.
Many standard building materials also release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) over time, affecting indoor air quality and occupant health. In healthcare facilities—where patient recovery is paramount—this becomes even more critical to address.
Eco-conscious architecture focuses on:
These alternatives not only lower environmental impact but often outperform conventional options in durability, thermal efficiency, and lifecycle costs.
We implement a sustainable construction approach, incorporating green materials, energy efficiency systems and practices that reduce the carbon footprint. In addition, we apply strategies such as reuse of materials, optimization of water consumption and environmental certifications, ensuring that each project has a positive impact on the environment.
Sustainable materials typically require less energy to produce and transport. For example:
Natural materials like straw bale insulation or green roofs regulate temperatures more effectively than synthetic alternatives, reducing reliance on HVAC systems. In hospitals—where energy demands run 24/7—these savings translate to lower operational costs and reduced strain on power grids.
Sustainable construction emphasizes:
This approach keeps valuable resources in use rather than sending them to landfills.
We specialize in green hospital design, incorporating:
Our projects demonstrate that sustainability and functionality can—and must—coexist in modern healthcare environments.
Clients benefit from:
As climate challenges intensify, sustainable architecture evolves from a niche preference to an industry imperative. The materials we choose today will determine the environmental legacy of our buildings for decades.
At FACTOR INTERNATIONAL, we’re committed to proving that high-performance healthcare facilities can—and should—be designed in harmony with nature.
